Regeneration Fund second round of recipients announced
Twenty-two cultural sector initiatives have been named as the latest recipients of the Cultural Sector Regeneration Fund, giving them the backing they need to make a lasting impact for the arts, culture and heritage sectors.
These recipients are balanced across national and significant regional initiatives reaching Māori, Pacific, and disabled communities across performing arts, visual arts, literature, the safeguarding of Mātauranga Māori and the Galleries Libraries Archives Museums Iwi Records (GLAMIR) sector.
In the second of four evaluation rounds, 22 proposals were approved for funding, up to a total of $7.9m, contingent on funding agreements to be signed in early 2023. In total, 224 Full Proposals were received, requesting funding to a value of $96.1m.
The Regeneration Fund is designed to support the arts, culture, and heritage sectors to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, with $28 million allocated to support strategic, cultural sector-led initiatives that will have lasting benefits.
